Re: Travelling To Canada by mevisbleek: 6:09pm On Dec 16, 2009
@lad1000, i doubt if they go give u d visa cos dey might say 26 is kind of old for undergrad, but there is no harm in trying. There are jobs in canada, but na mumu jobs plenty pass (as in menial jobs)

Why not Lagos-Morocco-Montreal? Why do you have to go thru Atlanta? Doesnt make sense. And you are right; you'd need a US Visa even if you are just making a Transit in the US. Unless you have a US Visa, she needs to give you another alternative. BA, KLM, Virgin Atlantic, etc would work. I quite agree this is a busy period and you'd have to pay a premium cos of the season.

BTW, see if you can get your ticket to your final destination i.e. Saint John (or Halifax YHZ if they cannot get Saint John). If you have to buy an extra ticket for a local flight, you need to budget another $200 min for a one-way, unless you get something to Toronto or Montreal alot cheaper with more than a $200 margin.

I'm ignorant about applying to canadian University.What are the best school for business administration.I'm 26 years with 6 0level credits in Waec.I finished school Cert in 2002.Do i have a good chance to gt the visa.Someone hlp me oooo
@ladi Guy forget it, u better try uk or other european countries. As for canada, you need a miricale to get a visa from that building @ VI. All this depends on 1thing? What you have been doing for the past 25 years and if you have strong ties to nigeria.
U fit try your luck  sha.

Nice one there. I take it you'd be flying directly into Saint John. I'd call a couple of my Naija pals in that zone (most are in F'tton) to meet up with you. Is your accommodation settled?

PS. I just gave you a ring but no response. We'd talk soon. Compliments of the season!

From your comments, it seems your husband is based in Canada while you are in Nigeria. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

If my assumptions are right, your husband has to file an "Out of Canada" Permanent residency application. He'd first have to send it in to the CPC office in Ontario who will then pre-approve him as your sponsor and then transfer it to your local visa office (which is in Accra). At the moment, the processing time in Ontario is approximately 1 month; however, the long wait is in Accra; it could take up to 18months or even more.

With respect to getting a Visa to Study, you can apply for a study Visa while your application is still in process. Canada allows for migration based on "dual intent". However, there's no guarantee you'd get the Visa. If you were applying from Europe, I'd say you probably have a better chance of getting the study Visa while your application is in process but the office in Lagos just thinks everyone is looking for a way to game the system (which is almost true). I'm not one to endorse agencies but I know there's an affiliate agency with the High Commission. It's called "Maple" and they are based in Lagos. Perhaps you may want to check them out; I hear they are expensive tho but they may be able to cook something up.

Whatever you do, make sure you think long term; interms of yourself and husband. If you make the application and do not mention you are married and your husband is in Canada, you will be putting your (husband's) application and future applications in jeopardy as the possibility of making any amendments in future is close to nil. So make sure you disclose you are married and the actual date on your marriage certificate. Also, I believe there's somewhere on the form that asks if someone has made an application on your behalf or something along that line; if your husband has already submitted your PR application, the answer should be in the affirmative.

It's worth giving it a shot; worst case is that you are declined on your quest for a study Visa; you wait out your PR application or try getting into one of the institutions in the US or UK where you'd be closer to your husband.

I hope I was able to answer your question(s).

You'd probably be coming into Canada with USD. The banks will change for you at their daily rates. There are no mallams here.

Goodluck as you wait. I'd be more inclined to visit them before the 24th because they'd most likely close office from the 24th to the new year. You need to be more assertive and follow up on your application asap.

Re: Travelling To Canada by aderallen: 4:31am On Dec 30, 2009
Travelling to Canada in Autome is a good choice.
you can appreciate the maple leaf and visit many famous places.
while travelling, we need to have a right comfortable walking shoes and hiking shoes.

Walking shoes are your most important item of gear. Our walking shoes gear guide will help you decide which shoes to buy for walking, where to buy walking shoes
Lightweight Hiking and Trail Shoes
Lightweight hiking boots and trail walking shoes are more designed for day hiking and shorter trips. They often come with rugged soles and are designed to be comfortable, cushioned and breathable and to have many properties similar to a walking boot. However, they're not as heavy as a pair of boots and therefore don't provide quite the same level of support nor are they as durable but they are probably the best choice if you're carrying a backpack and/or crossing rough terrain.

Ultimately, the best thing to do when choosing a walking shoe is to seek advice from an good onlineshoe specialist.

Actually, the Morocco-Montreal route is a high risk route for that airline in that alot of Nigerians (and some other Africans) use it to get to Canada illegally (with fake documents) and then declare as refugees when they get to Montreal. What you witnessed is common practice in such high-risk routes while travelling with a green passport. Thanks to our brothers. Obviously, the new development with regards that kid has added a new twist to it.

Whereabouts Saint John are you? Are you on campus? What's your email?
